Can I delete ALL photo's not used in Albums?

Hi,
So, my iPhoto Library has become too big to manage. about 40 gigs. My albums are filled with my selected photos. Is there I way I can delete everything else, not used in an album? Do I have to click on the photo tab and delete manually?
I hate to burn all the albums, delete everything, then re-import.
Anyone use Media 100 Editing software? There is a great feature that allows you to remove all media not being used in a bin or project. I'm wondering if there is something similar in iPhoto.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks
Ethan-

Try creating a smart album with the following criteria: *+Album is not any+*. Then apply a new keyword to those photos in the smart album.
Next check your other albums to see if that keyword appears in any of them. If not then you can be assured that deleting the photos in the smart album will leave only those in the other album. Of course to be on the safe side backup you library before deleting the photos.
Also don't delete more than about 100 photos at a time. iPhoto has a know disposition to choke when trying to delete large number of photos at one time.

  • How can I delete all photos and redo transfer

    In a nut shell: Bought a new iMac. Transferred all data over from my old iMac. Must have goofed it up because I ended up with triplicates of every photo in iPhoto. Ran two different photo dulpicate destroying plug-ins. Still left with, literally, thousands of duplicate photos in all manner of formats. I would like to delete entire photo library and redo transfer from old machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Drag it to the Trash and empty it.
    Next time
    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • IPhoto 9.6 deleted all photos in 2 of my albums -- any way to recover?

    Help! I'm using iPhoto 9.6 and Yosemite 10.10.2. I opened iPhoto today to find that all the photos in 2 of my albums were gone. The empty albums are there, just no photos. All my other albums/photos are fine. Does anyone know if there's a way to recover the 2 albums? I haven't updated anything recently or moved any files or anything like that. Thanks!

    Are the photos still in the event?
    Where is your iphoto library located? If on an external drive what format is it (it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) ) and how is it connected to your Mac?

  • Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

    I was trying to Import photos from my Facebook photo to my MacBookAir and now all i got is lots of back round photo. Please Help me out to delete them.Some or all of the photos you selected were downloaded from your published albums. You can only view these photos. To use them in an album or a slideshow or project, you must import them to your photo library.

    What that's telling you is that some of the photos you want to use are not in your Library but online in a gallery you have linked to. You need to download them first.

  • How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    How can I get all photos from iPhoto to automatically back up to iCloud from my Mac OSX Version 10.6.8 operating system.  Not enough memory to upgrade.

    You can't.  iCloud is not for general file backup from a Mac. It's for backup up and syncing data between mobile devices and and Macs and  The following is from this Apple document: iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your (mobile) device using iOS 5 or later. Once you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch .....
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    You get 5 GB of free iCloud storage for:
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    But not from a Mac.  If you want to backup your photos and other important files I suggest you get an external hard drive and use  it with Time Machine.

  • On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

      I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop!  So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now...  so the question is:  "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

    Have you tried

  • How can I delete all my photos from my iphone ios8

    I have backed up all my photos from my Camera Roll on my computer. I know wish to free up that space. It is 1300 photos. I do not have time to sit and tap through each moment and delete. Too many moments. There must be a quicker way to delete all photos from the iPhone memory drive, either from the iPhone itself or iTunes.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Connect it with a USB cable and use your photo application on your computer to import them.

  • I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    I am new with iMac and I am trying to copy some file from my external HDD that a used with my PC but it does not let me also I can't delete anything from this HDD using the finder. Can somebody help me , please?

    No, unfortunately, when you format a drive, it will erase all the contents. So you will need to find a temporary "storage" place to put the stuff using a PC so you have access to it. Then reformat using Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities). If only using with mac, format Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and use GUID Partition scheme under Partitions/Options. After formatting, you can drag the files back.

  • HT4859 If I backup to iCloud from iPhone 3GS, can I delete all my photos off my iPhone and be able to view them from the computer?

    My memory is full, if I back up to iCloud using my iPhone 3GS can I delete the photos off my device and be able to restore my phone and get my contacts back and save photos onto a computer?

    Export Photos and Videos from Camera Roll to your computer.
    Empty Camera Roll.
    Make a Folder/Album with all photos and videos you want to have in your iPhone and sync them through iTunes.
    This will free up space in your iPhone and your iCloud.
    The backup of Camera Roll in iCloud is only to restore your iPhone. You can't access them directly.

  • How do I delete all the imported (not synchronized with itunes) photos on my ipad ?

    how do I delete all the imported (not synchronized with itunes) photos on my ipad ?

    Depending on how many photos there are, you can do it diretly on the iPad via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photos in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view and selecting the photos to delete (there is no select all option).
    Or you can connect the iPad to your computer and do it via Windows Explorer on a PC by selecting the photos and pressing delete, or on a Mac iPhoto/Aperture should have a delete option at the end of their import dialogues.

  • Can't 'Delete Rejected Photos' (since Lightroom 5.6?) - just removes from catalog, not disk

    I use Lightroom 5 (64-bit) on Windows. Recently (possibly since the 5.6 upgrade?) I can't delete rejected photos from the catalog. Instead of asking if I want to delete from the disk or just the catalog or cancel, like it used to, it now asks if I want to remove from the catalog or cancel. The files are left on disk. This happens if I Ctrl-Backspace or choose the Photo > Delete Rejected Photos menu.
    Anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions please? My daughter borrows my camera so I delete a LOT of pictures - without this option I don't have a quick way to do that.
    - cheers, Barney

    I had a similar problem, and here is what I think is happening.
    It depends on how you are viewing your pictures.  If you are viewing a collection, Delete Rejected Photos will only remove them from the collection.  There is no prompt to remove the files from the hard drive.  Instead, you need to view the entire catalog (All Photographs).  This time when you selected Delete Rejected Photos, there is a prompt asking if you want to remove the files completely from hard disk.
    I have recently switched from Bridge to Lightroom, and I'm used to organizing and sorting my photos by directory.  This is another adjustment I need to make in my normal workflow.

  • HT4906 Can I delete all the photos on my photo stream?

    Can I delete all the photos on my photo stream as the same photos automatically go to my iPhoto library so why have both & waste memory? Not sure? Especially all my photos including photo stream photos are on my iPhone 5 & it's taking up so much memory. It's more of a memory issue on my iPhone 5, 32gb.
